Park Hyatt New York

Urban escape with as stellar Manhattan location

With its stellar spot on West 57th across from Carnegie Hall, this tony Manhattan edifice, the work of Pritzker Prize-winner Christian de Portzamparc, offers welcome respite from the electric scene below with 210 spacious rooms and suites (the work of prolific firm Yabu Pushelberg) boasting skyline and Central Park views. The Back Room, meanwhile, proves an apt name for the hotel’s darkly romantic in-house restaurant, home of chef Sebastien Archambault, whose staples include comfort food favourites like farm-roasted chicken with potato gnocchi or 60-day rib eye steak.
